Hi Slobodan!

My current problem is, that my launcher application does start as customer
shell. But it then can not start my real application using createprocess().

When I tell the launcher application to start notepad.exe, then it works.
The only difference to my application is, that it opens a config file on
startup. Can this be a problem when starting a programm as customer shell?

When I execute my application using the taskmanager and the "new task"
option it works fine! It also works if I start the launcher application
using the taskmanager and letting it open myapp.exe that opens a config file
on startup!

Please help!

Phil
